💫I believe in the power of stories to spark our compassion for ourselves and for others. Sharing our stories can help us recognize that we are all connected.

Inviting YOU to share one of your stories at SayItForward.org or to read the stories others have posted!💫

Say It Forward - Women's Stories, in their own words

Encouraging women and girls to share their stories of overcoming fear and self-limiting beliefs, reminding others that they are not alone.

Yes... the pull to return ‘home’ where we were nourished in so many ways still remains in our hearts... that’s why some of us keep going back ;) :) #Spiritchat

Kumud, your post reminds me of:

"Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone?

They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot!"

Q6. You went back (to childhood) home again.. but it didn’t quite exist as you remembered it… what happened next? #Spiritchat

A6 I think back to times at my grandparents or memories of my Mom and Dad, my Brother....this is how I return ... nostalgia and time softens the lens thru which I see these 'beloved homes'

Look, @sarahsenergy.bsky.social, our essay question! 😉
When I re-read this question, I thought about our heart-connection with those we have known and loved in previous lives. When we meet these people again, in this lifetime, we feel at home with them instantly. 💕 A7 #SpiritChat

AjmaniK @ajmanik.bsky.social · 18h

Q7. The connection(s) between home, kinship and ‘source of all life’ ~ do explore... 🙏🏽 #Spiritchat

Human life and beings are full of paradoxes, aren’t we all?! We want simplicity and yet we are weighed down (in my case, with books!) ;) :) #Spiritchat

A5 You can always try to go back. The result depends on the emotional and physical states of the parties involved. #SpiritChat

Q5. ‘No matter what may have happened, you can always go back home’ - agree or disagree? Why or why not?

A5 Don’t know. We can go back to a place or time in our memory. I think people are more important than places. We go home when we are around good friends and people we love. Love is home. #spiritchat

It depends on our definition of HOME. If "home is where our heart is" that we can always choose to be home. For some people, who experienced trauma in a place hey called home, then perhaps they cannot go back. A5 #SpiritChat

Yes, Janet! Hot chocolate is an excellent addition to the #SpiritChat menu. Let's remember that next week, shall we? ☕️

A4 I've realized that feeling is due to the person's heart..their essence. If I am welcomed with an open heart and open arms, I know I am in a loving place. I will be 'home' in their home.

‘Cozy’ and ‘home’ often go together... I believe that ‘tea and cookies’ and ‘home’ go together too ;) :) #Spiritchat

A4 Yes. I love it when that happens. When that instant connection happens. When you feel like you have known someone all of your life. When someone hears and sees you, you feel at home with them. Or a room /home feels like you have been there before. It is magic! #spiritchat

Q4. Ever wonder why... you meet with (or visit someone’s home) for seemingly the first time... and you instantly feel at home? #Spiritchat
